Sweet Bethie,
Well it happened, you came to me in a dream. You just popped in, hugged me
for a long time and said it's going to be ok. Funny thing was I didn't want to let
go. I asked about mom and you said again" it's going to be ok". Thank you, for a needed to hear that.
Miss you baby girl.

May the heavens watch over you.

David and David James,
Not a day goes by that I do not think of Beth. I miss her smile, I miss her. I weep for what we all have loss. I remember her as a small little girl, beautiful eyes, and always wanting to make everyone happy. Her birthday did not go by without a prayer. She is always in my heart, she will always be a wonderful blessing to all of us. I remember when I took that picture of her, we laughed about the leaf looking like an earring. She is so beautiful! I miss you two, know you always in my prayers and thoughts.

Terry,
One cannot begin to fathom the pain you are experiencing. Losing a daughter so soon after losing a husband, takes a tremendous amount of strength, and faith In God, to carry on.
Your faith, right now, is being tested, and you were given strength, by the Almighty, to carry this burden, until it begins to lighten. Through the darkest of nights, remember, Jesus is there beside you, at all times, to help you through this. As Simon helped Jesus carry His cross, Jesus is helping you, by carrying most of the weight on His shoulders, and by carrying you on His. His love will never leave you.
The poem Footprints is testimony to this.
As each day goes on, the pain will become a bit easier for you to endure. Though the loss will never be erased from our minds, Beth's love for us will only increase by multitudes in our hearts.
While we can no longer see our loved ones in our presence, their presence is very much among us. All we have to do is look around. Our memories of them, their works they left behind, their children, who were created out of love, and our joy for the love they gave us. Sometimes, in the quiet of the night,or on a quiet day,when we are surrounded by the beauty of God's wonders, we can hear our loved ones re-assuring us, that they are at peace, and that everything will be all right. God has a special place for our loved ones in heaven as our guardian angels, to watch over us, and to help us heal.
You have many prayers sent your way, from my Pastor and the people from my church choir group, Prayers for Beth, and prayers for healing.

Carroll and Family,
Losing a daughter relatively soon after losing a son,is extremely difficult for any parent.One does not know, or question God, as to why He chose to take Beth from all of us on that day.While we all still grieve, be assured that heaven is overjoyed with the addition of their "new angel"
Beth will always be in our hearts, and I am sure God assigned her to watch over her family members to help heal the pain of loss.My deepest sympathies for all.

Beth is gone today 4 weeks, and my pain for her , is as strong as the day it happened.
I miss her and I put some Sunflowers for her in the ocean in Plymouth.
She will never be forgotten.......!
My Spirit is not too high, but time, will bring it back.
David, David JAmes and Terry, call or come by, whenever you feel like it. I am here for you .

Terry, David, David James and all the family of Beth. What a tragic day that will live in my mind forever. One day we will understand why God chose her to be with him that day, until then we just need to trust in his word. I am bonded to this family forevermore sharing your grief and love for Beth. Lord turn this tragedy into good, bring this family together and heal their pain. Let Beth's life shine and encourage all of us what is important in life, love and relationships. In HIM I pray.

All of Beth's Family members,
This is a beautiful poem that says it all. I had this read at my Mom's funeral service, and it gave me some comfort. I hope it does the same for your grieving family
Do Not Weep
Mary Frye
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

With the birth of a child, we learn how to love unconditionally.
With marriage, family and friends, we learn to be a person who loves.
With death, we should learn that every person needs to be loved unconditionally.
Anyone who is seeking, God is with you.
"Knock and the door shall be open."
Ask Jesus into your heart today.

Tina,
I know, at this time, you are overwhelmed by the sudden and unexpected loss of your sister, Beth. We all are grief-stricken.
As difficult as this is to grasp, this too, shall pass. Each day the grief that weighs heavy in your heart, will lighten just a little bit, and while the memory of this tragedy will never be erased, the day will come when you will think of your sister, and remember most of the good memories.
Be comforted to know, that she is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord, and now has become your family's special angel, and she will help all of you through your darkest times of sorrow.
While we all grieve because Beth left us all too soon, I am sure Aunt Betty is overjoyed by her Homecoming.

David and David James,
While I didn't know the both of you that well, I knew Beth since she was three years old. She became my first niece of many to come, when I married into the family. She was such a beautiful child, who grew to become a beautiful woman, with a beautiful soul. While I am no longer married to her uncle, I still feel the closeness her family members have extended to me.
I will have the members in my church pray for her, and for healing for your family. Beth will always have that special place in my heart,and She will be greatly missed. I am certain that Aunt Betty welcomed her with open arms into the Father's House.

To the family of my best friend Beth,
please accept my deepest condolences.
I am so sorry for your loss and cannot imagine, how life will be without Beth.
Beth and i grew very close, over the last two years, and we became great friends. We shared the love of children, antiques and spending time together.
Our children, got along beautiful and my boy's are not able yet, to understand, that Ms. Beth is gone.
I am so heartbroken and miss her so dearly.
My heart goes out to David and David James.
I will plant a rose bush in her memory, so I will be reminded, how beautiful she was, inside and out.
Time will heal sorrow, but this journey has just started, and this undiscribable pain is too great, to think about tomorrow !
David, I am here for you. If you need help with anything, please let me know. Your wife was the best and her loss impacted everyone, who was dear to her.
I will miss and love her forever....!
